Yeah. Whatever. Allah...I mean Apple is great. How long have you had the books? How long do you intend to keep them in service? Are they G3 books? And the affected range is several hundred thousand I believe if you go by Apple's numbers alone. That by itself is a pretty big admission of a production screw up. You seem to be saying it's sacrilidge that I suggest they're may actually be a design problem. Pretty clear that Apple has already admitted one. Whether on the MoBo or in the Hinge... I certainly enetertain evidence that a chip is/was bad, a mobo is/was bad... BUT, I have seen books outside the range suffer the problems, first hand, so what am I to conclude? This is a silly argument. I'm saying if your G3 books will be in service beyond a year, seriously consider extended warranties. If you believe otherwise, then so what you will. Here's a new one: Just downloaded the Java 1.4.2 update, have already loaded the 1.4.1 update, all on 10.3.3 on a Pismo 500 w/1 gig ram, and every time I try and load the Java update it says I must install 1.4.1, which I have done 3 times now.
